He's playing to conservatives, at a time when conservatives really need someone to play to them.

I agree. Lately, I've noticed there's been excessive public relation stunts performed by the two groups for the reason of either political gain or approval from the public. John Kerry is rumored to have it another go at presidency in 08. Some people are accusing him of taking advantage of public opinion for political gain everytime he publicly denounces Bush AFTER the public expresses opinions on the war, Bush, etc.

fair concerns, but I'm concerned that they don't even really care as much about Iraq as they talk. If poll numbers continue to fall, they will begin to care less and less.

My point exactly. It's already clearly evident they don't care about the americans...why should even they care about the Iraqis at all? None of this make any sense to me. But good news once in a while is always comforting even it's bullshit.
